Inside the ADHD mind

Why do adults and children with ADHD have strong motivation and executive function for some tasks and never find the cognitive spark to do others?

Despite the many differences among children and adults with ADHD, there is one similarity shared by virtually all of them. Although they have considerable chronic difficulty in

and getting started on many tasks, focusing their attention, sustaining their efforts, and utilizing their short-term working memory, all of those diagnosed with ADHD tend to have at least a few specific activities or tasks for which they have no difficulty in exercising these very same functions in a normal or an extraordinary way.

The inconsistency in
motivation
and performance is the most puzzling aspect of ADHD. It seems like the child or adult with the disorder who can show strong motivation and focus very well for some tasks should be able to do the same for most other tasks that they recognize as important. It appears as if this is a simple problem of lacking “willpower.” If you can do it for this, why can’t you do the same for that and that, which are even more important? However, ADHD is not a matter of willpower. It is a problem with the dynamics of the chemistry of the brain.

Recent research offers considerable evidence that ADHD is not a “willpower thing,” even though, in many ways, it appears to be a lack of willpower. When individuals with ADHD are faced with a task that is really interesting to them, not because someone told them that it ought to be interesting — but because it is interesting to them at that moment — that perception, conscious or unconscious, changes the chemistry of the brain instantly. This process is not under voluntary control.

The willpower assumption is based on two fundamental misunderstandings of how the human brain works. This assumption ignores the complex and powerful role of unconscious emotions in the brain’s processes of motivation, and it does not recognize the critical importance of working memory for prioritizing tasks moment by moment.

“Unendlich” translates to “never-ending” – a reference to the of this wine, and certainly not the quantity available.

Indeed this is among the rarest Austrian Rieslings; so far as I can tell, we are the only retailer in the U.S. with so much as a bottle. More importantly though,
the “Unendlich”
is, year in and year out, among the absolute greatest dry Rieslings.

Today we proudly present a mini-vertical of this Master-Riesling
– the efforts of many years, a whole lot of digging and a healthy dose of luck. This is a bottle that is normally “gifted,” in ones and twos, to the top restaurants and a handful of retailers.

For any serious aficianado of Austrian Riesling, you glorious, curious, most passionate tribe (I proudly count myself among you), though open with caution and be prepared for a serious addiction. (The bottle sheds the normal green label for what I think is one of the coolest labels around, see below and/or

If F.X. Pichler’s Riesling Kellerberg is the most finessed, most mineral expression in the stable,
the “Unendlich” adds flesh and depth to this same focus and -fine elegance.

I still remember, very clearly, my first “Unendlich”
– a tiny pour of the 2006 on a cold winter’s night in the garden behind Trestle on Tenth. The wine had been open 24 hours and it was still absolutely stunning (thank you KoA). Razor-thin layer after razor-thin layer of crystalline fruit, glossy shards of green apple, pear, apricot, peach, mango and more. An absolute Wagnerian-orchestra at full pitch, yet also with a crystal clear detail.

This wine has such depths to offer, and the presentation is in constant evolution

Full reviews for each vintage are below.

This is a wine that’s not quickly forgotten and
for me,

The only true comparison I can think of – both in terms of grandiosity and rarity – is Klaus-Peter Keller’s G-Max.
As with the G-Max, the source of Pichler’s “Unendlich” is never exactly revealed, though unlike the G-Max, it does change according to the vintage. As Schildknecht reports, the 2006 was largely sourced from the big-dog Loibner Berg site – the 2007’s etched detail is a result of its being sourced mainly from the Steinertal (though only the best grapes closest to the terraces, thus ripening more fully from the heat/light reflected off the stones themselves).

Quantities, as you can likely imagine, are super-limited.
For the Austrian scholar, a near-unforgettable gift would be the mini-vertical itself – a single-bottle foray into three vintages of this incredible dry Riesling.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is an excellent alternative to the Pixel 2 XL, with its 6.3-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED screen, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor, and 6GB of RAM. What makes it unique? It comes with the S Pen stylus that packs a lot of useful functionality. Best of all it’s the first Samsung phone with a dual-camera setup. It takes excellent photos, and it has a 2x optical zoom setting, as well as a feature similar to Google and Apple’s Portrait Mode. You won’t get fast Android updates, but you do get the best-in-class hardware. Oh, and it has a headphone jack.

The Pixel’s design may not be for everyone, but we like the mix of two-tone aluminum and glass on the rear. It’s less easy to shatter and it isn’t a fingerprint magnet, unlike most flagship phones that are all-glass. The rear aluminum coating feels like a matte chalkboard, and it’s pleasant to the touch. The fingerprint sensor is fast, and you can swipe down on it to see your notifications. Like most flagship phones, it’s IP67 water-resistant.

The Pixel 2 XL’s spotlight feature is its 12.2-megapixel camera, which is one of the best around. Google’s HDR+ technology allows for excellent dynamic range in photos, and the detail it captures is stunning. It’s even one of the best performers in low-light scenarios. There’s no optical zoom, unlike many of its competitors, but it does have Portrait Mode even though it lacks dual cameras. Google purely uses software to detect the background from the subject, and its results are as good as the iPhone X. We’ve even found it takes better Portrait Mode selfies than Apple’s iPhone.

The best things about the Pixel 2 XL are its commitment to timely software updates and customer service. Pixel phones get automatic Android software updates and security patches without delay. In fact, they will be automatically downloaded when you aren’t using the phone. That’s vitally important for your privacy and security. There’s also a 24/7 support team you can access via the phone or by chat directly in your Settings app.

Like the iPhone X, the main problem here is the lack of the headphone jack. You get a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter in the box, but if you’re not a fan of dongles, you may want to grab wireless earbuds. Again, it’s not ideal, but it’s manageable.
